Time to explore more #BoatsintheLibrary -- this month's #LibrariesChallenge for the #LibrariesofInstagram! This lovely book cover shows the Endurance, a three-masted barquentine that was crushed by ice and sunk in 1915 bringing an halt to the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. From the book, South: the Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition, 1914-1917 by Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922).
